This cake turned out a little dry. I baked it at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, next time I'll check it starting at 25 minutes. I used fat free vanilla yogurt instead of the sour cream (didn't have any, maybe next time), and left out the nuts. I subbed brown sugar for white in the cinnamon mixture (I doubled both.) Nice taste, nice texture. I'll make this again.

This coffee cake turned out so well - dense but moist. I'll definitely make it again. Like others, I used the regular way of mixing ingredients for a cake: creamed together the butter and sugar, then added the eggs one at a time and then the vanilla. In a separate bowl, combined the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Alternated adding the flour mixture and sour cream until it was combined. Don't overmix once the flour is added.

I made this cake with Jules gluten free all purpose flour (substituting cup for cup) and with dairy free sour cream. I followed the directions of others, creaming the butter and sugar, then one egg at a time, followed by alternating flour with sour cream. Baked at 350 for 40 minutes. It tastes amazing! You can't even tell it's gluten free!

Made this exactly as written except, like everyone else, I substituted brown sugar for the confectioners powdered sugar. I made mine in a bundt pan and baked it for 50 minutes. Came out perfect and delicious!!

Really good and I was able to make it MUCH healthier without sacrificing any flavor! I used only 1/4 cup of butter and a snack sized cup of apple sauce (1/2 cup?), 1 scant cup of Splenda, and all white whole wheat flour. It was still rich and moist. I think that it would make a great 9 x 13 coffee cake with a crumb topping! I will make again.

I followed other reviewers' suggestions about creaming the butter and sugar, and used brown sugar instead of white. The result was very good, and even better the next day. The recipe is a little confusing about how much of the cinnamon-sugar mixture to put in the middle of the batter. (Does "generously" mean all of the mixture or not?) Use ALL the mixture. Next time I'll try it with white sugar and a glaze on top. Thanks for a tasty recipe.
